  • Immunotherapy has brought new hope for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) patients. At present, immunotherapy drugs alone have achieved a certain therapeutic effect in the treatment of HCC, and combined treatment regimen of targeted therapy and immunotherapy has shown great potential in the conversion therapy and perioperative treatment for HCC. This article discusses targeted immunotherapy for HCC and related issues in treatment evaluation, prediction system, and safety and further elaborates on the application value of immunotherapy in HCC and the directions for further exploration.
